Mango Sour

As you can tell by the half filled glass, this wasn't going to be a recipe I photographed for the blog. When looking at what to make for the June Gourmet Unbound, the Mango Sour was just kind of an add on to what I chose. But after taking a sip (or two, or three) Mr. L and I realized that though simple, this was quite good. In fact, I think it will become the drink of the summer of 2010.

I think I'm officially in love
with Mango Sours. I guess I've never really had a sour before. Loved
the taste. Love that it was so simple to make. Mr. L liked it too. I
think we just came across our Summer of 2010 drink. This came from the June 2004 issue of Gourmet.

Note: I did use superfine sugar as it really does disintegrate better. I found a box from C&H once in my local grocery store and I've found it in specialty stores. It's great to keep on hand for drinks like this where you want the sugar to melt into the cold drink quickly.

Note: Didn't have any mango spears to add to this. Just used the Mango nectar
in the can (Kerns). I'm sure fresh mango juice might make a difference but when
it's hot outside and you need a quick refreshing drink, this is the way to go.
